Utricularia volubilis, the twining bladderwort is a perennial, affixed aquatic carnivorous plant that belongs to the genus Utricularia.
It is endemic to the southwestern coastal region of Western Australia.
It bears large violet flowers on twining scapes to 90 cm.
Its filamentous leaves can be up to 30 cm long and its pigmented traps up to 5 mm large.
The large traps can be seen on short stalks attached to the rosette.
Traps are often held on the tips of some of the grass like leaves.
Both of these types of traps are suspended in the water.
The largest traps of all are attached to the underground stolons and trap preys which live in this substrate.
The bladder-trap is unique to the Utricularia, giving them their nickname of Bladderwort. Utricularia has no true root system.
They form floating, thin, hair-like stems that extended away from the main body of the plant. Utricularia volubilis is a wonderfull annual plant.
